Fairhaven Airport Transfers

Surf Coast

Point us at the terminal from Fairhaven

We collect from your Fairhaven address and drive to whichever terminal is on your ticket — Melbourne (~128 km) or Avalon (~75 km).

Fairhaven travellers book fixed-fare pickups toward Tullamarine (~128 km) or Avalon (~75 km). Use the airport cards below to open the matching guide.

From Fairhaven, Avalon is the shorter hop by about 53 km — handy when your airline sits there. Melbourne still wins when you need internationals or broader connections.

Coast Highway time into Geelong precedes the freeway stretch. Holiday mornings and event weekends are the variables we plan around.

On the road

Avalon timing

Avalon sits around 75 km away. Useful for Jetstar, with leave times sized for coastal traffic rather than off-peak map estimates alone.

Melbourne timing

Fairhaven to Tullamarine is about 128 km. Expect Great Ocean Road tourist flow through Aireys and Anglesea before the Geelong freeway corridor.

Local tip: Weekend changeovers: book pickup shortly after keys return.

Peak traffic — Melbourne: In peak traffic allow about 20–40 min extra — Surf Coast Highway into Geelong then freeway congestion toward Tullamarine, worse on holiday changeovers and Sunday returns.

Peak traffic — Avalon: In peak traffic allow about 10–20 min extra for Avalon — coastal/peninsula roads into Geelong first, then a shorter industrial corridor. Holiday weekends add the most time.

What matters here

• From Fairhaven, airport choice follows the airline on your ticket; we collect at the same the Surf Coast address either way.
• Cliff and beach streets leave little room for abandoned airport cars during holidays.
• Surf Life Saving event weekends compound parking stress — a booked transfer skips the fight.
